Two-time rugby World Cup winner and self-confessed “golf tragic” Dan Carter is eager to see the result of a new programme aimed at boosting participation for golfers with a disability in Ireland 22bet
The former New Zealand fly-half was in Dublin this week to help launch the partnership 22bet between Golf Ireland and ISPS Handa which will see the latter sponsor the Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability in June 2024 and become the lead partner of Golf Ireland’s Golf4All programmes 22bet
Carter, who is an ambassador for ISPS Handa, said: “I know at ISPS Handa they are going to look at different sporting events, different organisations about partnering with them 22bet
“One of the most important things is they really have a lot of values 22bet
So to learn about Golf Ireland and wanting to make Golf4All is a perfect alignment for ISPS Handa 22bet
“It’s a really exciting partnership and one that’s going to work for both sides 22bet
I’m really intrigued to see how this partnership evolves and also the uptake of golf here in Ireland 22bet
“I’m a bit of a golf tragic, I think I’m much 22bet better than I actually am, so it’s great to be back here in Ireland and next time I can guarantee I will be bringing my golf clubs 22bet
”Fellow ISPS Handa ambassador and world number two Brendan Lawlor added: “The beautiful thing about this partnership is it’s going to give so many disability golfers in Ireland a chance at every level, a chance at G4D events, to get disability children into the game and also to get anyone in any walk of life into the game and it’s fantastic 22bet
“Golf Ireland are definitely the most progressive foundation and organisation in disability golf at the minute 22bet
“We meet every few months for different meetings to talk about different ways to try and boost the game and get different people into the game 22bet
“It’s wonderful to see an organisation that’s willing to work with you to make great things happen 22bet

Two elderly men were suited 22bet
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion 22bet
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent 22bet
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” 22bet
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up 22bet
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said 22bet
“He’s me brother 22bet
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC 22bet Sports Personality of the Year award 22bet
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died 22bet
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air 22bet
They were not always close but their achievements will live on 22bet
There have been 22 men’s 22bet football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 22bet
It remains the most famous year in English 22bet football history; perhaps it always will 22bet
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA 22bet Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France 22bet Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup 22bet
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player 22bet
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both 22bet
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt 22bet
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English 22bet footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps 22bet
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed 22bet
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory 22bet
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about 22bet football coming home, Charlton brought it back 22bet
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net 22bet
Bobby Charlton, centre, celebrates with the World Cup at Wembley (Getty Images)Decades before the invention of expected goals, Charlton was scoring unexpected ones 22bet
Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it 22bet
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular 22bet
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ 22bet
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond 22bet
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought 22bet
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist 22bet
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions 22bet
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected 22bet
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other 22bet
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 22bet
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over 22bet
Bobby Charlton in action against his brother Jack (PA Archive)It could have been still more glorious: keep Charlton on and maybe England would have prevailed in 1970 22bet
But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole 22bet
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster 22bet
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden 22bet
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner 22bet
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English 22bet football; the face of what is now a bygone age 22bet
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades 22bet
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game 22bet
